Proposal: Fixed Lightning

Can’t reach quorum with 7 votes against, without a change of vote. Failed by Kevan.

Change the first paragraph of rule 2.1 “Commoner’s Economy” to:

Each Commoner has an Income (a number which can be positive, negative, or zero, and defaults to 50), and amounts of Coal, and amounts of Iron, Wood, Quicksilver, Caffeine, Cogs, Gems, and Electricity (numbers defaulting to the median values among Commoners, rounding up to an integer if necessary). Coal, Iron, Wood, Quicksilver, Caffeine, Cogs, Gems, and Electricity are collectively known as Resources.

Add the bullet point “0 Electricity” to the bulleted list in that rule.

Add a new subrule to Rule 2.2 “Inventions”, titled “Lightning Rod”:

Cost: 10 Iron
Power Requirement: 5
The owner of an invention which includes a Lightning Rod additionally gains DICE5 Electricity when Scavenging.

Chance the “Observatory and Alchemarium” paragraph in Rule 2.4 Workshops to the following:

The Commoner who owns an Observatory may spend 1 Coal and 1 Resource (other than Coal) to gain 1 of any other Resource (other than Electricity). However, they can only choose to gain one Resource while Scavenging.

Set each Commoner’s amount of Electricity to 0.

Fixed.

imperial Adding a new resource at this stage seems… eh. I’m happy to go with the will of the hated Mad Prince.

How can’t a median of any Resource be an integer? I assume “rounding up to an integer if necessary” is useless and   unnecessary.

Hm, I do not know how to think about this… Could be fun, but in my opinion we do not need a new Resource. Not now. Additionally, I do not want luck to be that important…

Finally, I would prefer to develop existing possibilities (there could be a “nice” war eg)

So:  against

Ah, I am sorry. A Median might be a non-integer, if the number of Commoners is an odd number. But this fact does not change my vote…

against The amount of apathy towards this is pretty amazing, so I’m inclined to believe that most Commoners don’t really want it but are being too polite to say so. (Also, I can’t see the point.)

@Keba: The ruleset already has the “rounding up to an integer if necessary” clause…
